A few more days progress on Listen 4 (3 on the background, 3 on the face) pretty happy so far. I didn't want to go with "pretty" on this one. I wanted the subject to be fairly ambiguous in her expression so the viewer can fill in the emotional narrative. I'm really focusing on the skin quality and having it feel a little open ended. Not the best photo, it's not this de-saturated but the overall feel is pretty close.

Just got the next painting in the Listen series worked out to the canvas. I'm revisiting the framework of the first one - it's a bit bigger and hopefully I can bring a bit more maturity and experience to it from both a technique standpoint and a few other areas. I've gotten constant requests for a colour version of the original and I'm hoping to take it much further. There will be prints available and I will post as much as I can as the process develops.

Listen 3
30"x15", acrylic on canvas
The latest addition to my #Listen series. I've wanted to do a composition using #Doves for a while and I think everything came together at the right time for a variety of reasons.
The original is for sale - contact me for pricing. I will be doing the first run of prints Aug. 21st, 2015. They are offered at 17"x11" - $23 and 24"x12" - $115 (large prints can be framed upon request), drop me a line here or at info@brentschreiber.com with any inquiries. You can also purchase directly at http://www.brentschreiber.com/pages/shop.html
If you like the work and want to support it the best way to do it is to purchase a print. These are all personal works and I'd like to invest more of my time in them. Thanks for the past and continued support, it is appreciated.

For the #Kitchener #Waterloo Art Lovers I will be displaying #Listen 2 and the #Smaug portrait #paintings at the Gallery owned by the #Art Store in Waterloo for the month of August. It's an wonderful space to display and the owners have always been amazing as a regular customer (in business since 1987). On display are over a dozen local artist's work and you can't compare seeing a piece in person to on a screen.
The address is 91 Caroline St. S. Waterloo ON (parking behind Waterloo Town Square) and the hours are 10-6 Mon-Sat. It's a great chance to check out both paintings in person and support an amazing local business.
